Take advantage of these innovative techniques for obtaining and using social and behavioral science collections!

From its inception in 1979, Behavioral & Social Sciences Librarian has focused on the production, collection, organization, dissemination, retrieval, and use of information in the social and behavioral sciences. This landmark journal publishes articles on all aspects of behavioral and social sciences information, with emphasis on librarians, libraries, and the users of social science information in libraries and information centers. No other journal covers the field or attempts to reach both the professional information specialist and the scholar.

The broad scope of the audience includes librarians and information specialists, collection development administrators, and library educators, as well as scholars, teachers, policymakers, publishers, and database producers—all professionals with a common interest in the use of information in the behavioral and social sciences. Behavioral & Social Sciences Librarian continues to publish unusual or interesting bibliographies and checklists as well as descriptions of collections or other institutional resources. The journal also seeks articles that study characteristics of social sciences literatures and studies of user behavior. It features a wide range of material befitting its audience, including:

• descriptive and critical analyses of information resources within particular fields
• publishing trends
• reference and bibliographic instruction
• indexing, abstracting, thesaurus building, and database construction
• bibliographic and numeric databases
